Manhattan is flatter than Dallas, in the 1800s the whole island was flatten so they could make way for the grid system.
Wrong actually, only portions of the southern part of Manhattan were flattened. Northern Manhattan - West Harlem and Washington Heights are quite hilly, as well as the Bronx. Most visitors don't go to these areas, so I wouldn't expect you to know this. HERE is a look at northern Manhattan. Also, to the north and west of NYC there is quite a bit of topography due to the Catskills.
Anyway, for the purpose of this thread, its neither here nor there. Having lived in Denver for 4-years, I would say my preference is for a location with great access to the mountains and nature. Additionally, I felt that Dallas was too sprawling for my tastes.

I know I said Denver before, but I was just going off of Dallas/Denver not Dallas/Fort Worth/Denver. With Fort Worth it changes everything completely.
Denver + Dallas Metropolitan Areas:
Fort Worth > Denver > Dallas
I like the actual city of Denver a lot more than the actual city of Dallas. I have had an amazing time in Denver of all places. But when you take into consideration the 3 principle cities of the two metropolitan areas I have to give it to DFW because of Fort Worth.
It's not that I have had more in Fort Worth over Denver, just that I like the cultural aspects to it a lot more. Only complaint is the weak skyline...

My favorite big city in Texas. I like it more than both Houston & Dallas. You guys are lucky to have that with you in the Metroplex. Like I mean it, it's one of of the most authentic places in the state.
I know, that's why I don't go there after 6:00 pm.
